After a long break raising my family I am now ready and eager to get in back to the workplace.
Although I've been out of work I've definitely not lost touch with the industry and I'm raring to go again!

My last employment was for the Discovery
Channel as a Reversioning Producer before taking maternity leave.

I'm a versatile Producer/Series Producer with a strong track record in formatted facts/ents programming (including Art, DIY/Makeover, Cookery, Antiques, Auctions, Property, Relationships, Community, Police) Experienced and committed with a keen eye for detail and sound editorial judgement. Produced for both peak and daytime, across channels. A motivated and inspiring team leader with a focus on delivering the best end product.

Experienced in both location and studio based filming, I'm capable of producing and nurturing new talent, as well as dealing with more experienced and exacting presenters and celebrities across the board and have an excellent intuition about contributors.

I thrive on the organisational elements of production; logistics, schedules and budgets and find these to be as rewarding as the creative aspects. I'm used to demanding budgets and working within them, equally, I have experience of running multiple edits and overseeing large teams.

I am currently available.
